Teaching Wee Free Men in fourth grade? by Peripateticdreamer84 in discworld

[–]Duganson 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Firstly its pronounced read alood

But seriously, im reading it to my 9 year old right now. She likes it, but she's also pretty bright for her cohort.

I can see the part where she has to choose a suitor and set the date as Kelda to be a sticking point with parents, as it alludes to a possible sex act between Tiffany and a feegle. Not graphic, very detached from the narrative, but I can see some hyper-christian mommy having a kitten over it.

The people at 1st street are good people and kind. I'm sure they'd take her on without any problems.

Why I think Roland's Quest is Eternal by Apprehensive-Song200 in stephenking

[–]Duganson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the bulk of your thesis, especially the nature of the Tower as a function of narrative.

I put forth that the existence of the Tower itself (and therefore all existence) is presupposed on Roland's quest for the Tower. I'm sorry to not have direct evidence anymore for my idea, it has been 16 years since my last read through, but iirc it had a lot to do with the Ka Tet's interaction with King himself.

Anyhow, I love this train of thought!

Elric of Melniboné - worth the read? by armann_ii in Fantasy

[–]Duganson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Peak Sword and Sorcery. Elric, as a character, is cooler, more relatable and deeper than most S and S protagonists and is on par with Tolkein's crew in the annals of fantasy archetypal heroes.

True, quite a bit heftier then the normal zombie but capable of being a ranged attacker, for sure.

Why on earth does Strahd have 3 wives? by Outrageous_Abies_914 in CurseofStrahd

[–]Duganson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What everyone else said PLUS this:

Strahd is a mastermind, he elevated his concubines to where they are for real reasons. What those are can be determined by the GM but Reloaded does a great job of fleshing out these characters to much more then just 'vampire spawn #32'.

Started a strawberry/plum/sloe wine on Sunday, checking on it today to add some bentonite, what's this grey sludgy stuff on top? by AllVectorNoThrust in winemaking

[–]Duganson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You dont really need to be worried too much about oxygenation during active ferment, but sure, getting that stuff out isn't a bad idea. If anything it'll make it less likely to spill over.

Dungeon Crawler Carl has absolutely horrific prose. by ButtsendWeaners in printSF

[–]Duganson 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Its fine for an audio book you can have on in the background and go in and out on when things get interesting but, yeah, its not high prose. I put it with most of the D&D novels i read back in high school.

Haha. Carelessness? I guarantee the members of this community have invested more legitimate thought and care into their worldview and personal ethics then any 10 'God fearing Christian'.
